Close

Directed by Lukas Dhont

Leo and Rémi's close friendship is disrupted, prompting Leo to seek understanding from Rémi's mother, Sophie, in a poignant exploration of friendship and responsibility.
Close is an exquisitely made Belgian coming-of-age drama about an intense friendship between two boys and the devastating consequences of social pressure. Eden Dambrine is remarkable, and Lukas Dhont’s sensitive direction turns small gestures, silence and grief into something profoundly affecting.
